Rockwell RK9033 JawStand ebay

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rockwell-RK9033-JawStand-Portable-Work-Support-Stand/222728276366


$38, today have 6% ebay bucks, get 15% off second one.

sold by rockwell, in plain box.



I had been wanting something small for outfeed, sure beats stacking 5 gallon bucket and paver blocks. I was also trying to solder some copper pipes on a vise and I used a stick to hold the other end up since I didn't want the fittings to be soldered crooked. This will come in handy.

I also need to hang the copper pipes by myself so if I put a board to help prop the other end at 10 feet that would be handy. (max 41" without board) not sure if it would be easy to tip over so I would go with 2x2 or a stick of EMT for a cradle setup.

portable tripod for flood light?

The apparatus is not a real clamp?? (people in review complain alot about this) but it can fit a 2x board so a small vise / helper hand can be installed. nothing a quick clamp or 2 won't fix.

I only got one. I think $40 well spend to not need a second person to help with things.

No one should complain about this not clamping. That's what the more expensive jaw horse is for.

It's definitely a good price, but your use cases are stretching it a bit. I have a pair that are mostly used for outfeed for my miter saw or workbench. Also comes in handy for mortising doors.

Soldering - just make sure that copper pipe is long enough that the end resting on the plastic jawstand doesn't melt the plastic (or take appropriate measures to insulate the stand).

10 foot prop rod - it would probably hold a 10 ft 2x4 provided it was plumb. If it isn't plumb, the weight and leverage are going to work against you. If you put outward force on the top of the 2x4, that may also end badly. And everytime you need to move this thing, it will be an exercise. Honestly I would look for another way. Even a C clamp up on the ceiling structure would be easier. Or maybe I read that wrong and you meant 10 ft out not 10 feet up?

Portable tripod - sure, screw a 2x4 to the middle of a 20"x20" plywood piece and you have a little surface area to lay some tools, a light, whatever. Just watch how much weight you put towards the outside of that flat surface and where that weight is in relation to the swing of the tilting head. The clamp for the tilting head will only hold so much.

The cam clamping mechanism works fine for holding a board about the thickness of a 2x4 or door. Any thinner and you'll need to add some shims to make up the difference. To much thicker and your SOL. If you want it to hold something while you hammer a nail into it, you chose the wrong tool.

GJ gets me to spend more $ again... have been thinking about a pair of these anyways, think Lowes had a holiday special on them, but no where the $75 shipped I just got 2 from this deal.

 

[Ign]

Is there a roller kit available?

Sheets of plywood or OSB aren't dragging and tugging it over?

 

[Ign]

I ordered 4 and got $11.40 discount, I guess that's the 15% on qtys greater than 1.

Basically $140 for 4 not including tax

I'll use 2 and donate 2 to my non-profit

 

[PoorOwner]

I didn't see a roller kit but I always have some spare caster and pipes around.

 

[SoDark]

Just got this from Lowes for $51. Then saw this on ebay for $38 when I got home. Be warned this is the earlier model WITHOUT the fancy micro-adjusting mechanism i was looking forward to...

Sure they can - it's misleading. The Jaw Horse is completely different

It gives you the impression that the entire 'jaw' is a clamp, when in reality it isn't. The clamping part is a small pad that is 1" x 1 1/2"

I have the XP version with the 'micro adjuster' (paid $65 for it from Amazon). When I first got it - that was my initial impression also. I thought about sending it back but I ended up keeping it. It really is well made and it will do most of the things I want to do with it.

Just keep it in mind about the clamp:

I bought these rollers which are small enough to fit on the edge of a 2 x 4. Just haven't gotten around to rigging it up yet

It clamps. Just not well. The clamp is small, as the picture above shows, and it doesn't clamp all the way shut. it doesn't even clamp a 1X (3/4" actual) in place; minimum opening is about 7/8".

I have the fancier version. I've used it for outfeed, with the roller things that someone posted. I also use to hold a mortar or plaster board: piece of 3/4 plywood, with a 2x4 screwed to the bottom. It works very well for that.

 

[PoorOwner]

Here is the newer one I found that have a little crank to elevate the jaw.

I assume the crank can handle the whole capacity for you to raise the cabinet.

Yes, that is the 'XP' model that I have (the pic I posted the clamp on my XP version)

No - the crank is a micro adjustment. You move the main post up and down manually, get it roughly where you want it and then clamp it into place with the black knob near the top of the green tripod area. Then you can fine-tune the height with the micro adjuster. If you look closely at the pic you can the top part above the crank is a little wider. That part fits over the main post and that is what moves up and down

It's not a lift, you can use it to hold something once you get it to where you want it, but it is not going to lift it up there for you

Most garage floors are not level and I was thinking of using it for an infeed/outfeed support for one of my machines. The tripod type base is very sturdy and the whole entire head (jaw mechanism) can be tilted so that it would be level with the floor. And with the crank adjustment, you can set it to an exact height pretty easy. It works great in that regards

 

[RKA]

I have the XP as well. I like them, but you can get by with the ones on sale as well. Set the height a little higher than you need, lightly clamp the column and tap the top with a block of wood to slowly bring it down where you want. Fully clamp the column when you have it where you want. It’s not terrible and for the cost savings, I would consider the versions without the micro adjustment.

Alright, pretty cool!

 

[Git]

You could go bigger on the rollers if you wanted to. The 'head' of the stand can take up to 2" material, so if you wanted to cut down a 2 x 4 to fit sideways in the jaw you could. I was thinking about using the 2 x 4 on edge, so these are fine for what I want. A lot depends on how much you want to spend and what you are going to use them for

Here is a mockup of them on a 2 x 4 and the 'wimpy' clamp

 

[PoorOwner]

I watched some videos and it appears bigger than just looking at pictures.
Seems decent for the price.

Thanks for posting.

I was always hesitant to buy before, $70 for one at Lowes.

Thanks for posting.

There are several other Rockwell tools eligible for the “2nd item 15% off”. I went through three separate transactions to maximize the discounts.

The F80 oscillating tool has been on my list for a while. Really comes in handy for plunge cuts.

Funny I was just looking at these because one popped up on cl for $20.
I saw this on ebay and just figured that's what they were going for.
With all the bad reviews I passed but I guess I will rethink that position.

 

[jonlruss]

Now showing up as out of stock.

 

[madison069]

So I ordered two of them and they came in today. I have a birthday party to attend so it will wait til tomorrow or so before I take them out.

 

[Ign]

Received mine today. This is some fascinating welding here

good thing the bolt is there, eh?

 

[Git]

I had to look at mine after seeing that weld pic

Mine doesn't look too bad.

 

[Javahead]

Showing back in stock again & with the 2nd item for 15% & right now I have a 10% Ebay Buck bonus, I went ahead & bought one of the regular ones & one of the XP ones. Total for the 2 shipped was less than $85 which doesnt seem too bad. Guess I'll see what the real difference between the 2 is.

 

[jherm]

i grabbed the refurbished in plain packaging from the same seller and ended up getting one for $19 after some paypal credit that I had - or $30 shipped regular - with 15% off a second if I wanted one. Decent deal for me.

 

[PoorOwner]

Mine is in retail packaging.

Why can't I adjust a little past zero so I can get the bubble leveled? Is the bubble just here to inform you and you have to shim the leg?

LOL who knows. Take a die grinder and lengthen the radiused slots a bit?

NO Shims required..... Just use a BFH to beat it into submission!

BTW! One of my stands had to be "tweaked" to get it level.

 

[PoorOwner]

Have to say it is pretty good deal overall, I am going to make a "Tee" with 2x wood and mount my hitch vise on it, so I can use it to hold piping.

 

[Steve_P]

I got a jawhorse and two of the stands for $220, great deal.

 

[Steve_P]

I've used the jawhorse and stands a few times already as I have a current wood shelving fab project. No issues with the stands not having a screw to fine adjust the height. If I was going to use these every day I guess it'd be worth the extra $ but for occasional projects this style is ok. The welds on my items were ok. I've wanted the Jawhorse for years but it's not something I'd use more than a few times a year so I havent bought one until now with the sale.

Got the same one from Lowes, since the eBay deal is OOS.

Several reviews say the more expensive RK9034 XP model's crank adjustment easily strips out, since the gears are only made of plastic. Reason why I went with the RK9033 ... friction adjustment appears more reliable.

I can see that happening if you have a load on it while using it (edit - while cranking the microadjust), but otherwise, it should be pretty reliable. I’ve had 2 of them for years and haven’t had an issue. Worse case, I’m left with just the course adjustment and the fine adjuster bottoms out and can’t raise the head.

Much as we all rely on online reviews, sometimes it’s hard to filter the stupid factor because the people writing them are genuinely convinced it wasn’t them.

 

[PoorOwner]

been using mine to hold stuff off the table works great.

For non critical holding, I just move the miter angle so it raises and make contact.
